AMP Footnotes
The lampstand may symbolize Israel as a light to the nations.
The seven eyes reflect God’s oversight of the world and its inhabitants, and His pleasure in the construction of the temple.
The oil used in anointing symbolizes the Holy Spirit (v 6). The combination of priest and ruler points ultimately to the Messianic Priest-King (Ps 110; Zech 6:13; Heb 7).
